A CHILL SPACE


Escape to Welch Cabin, perched 90 feet above the pristine Kalama River on 19 acres of preserved forest. This secluded retreat blends wilderness charm with modern comforts like creek-processed water, hot showers, bio-toilets, internet, and a full kitchen.
Just 10 miles from Kalama, WA, the cabin offers complete privacy with no neighbors in sight. Surrounded by towering firs, cedars, and wildflowers, you’ll hear songbirds, rushing rapids, and the whisper of a mountain breeze.

DOUBLE DECKS
Two decks, one for dining and sunning, and another for a private outdoor shower and biffy with a world class view. A sturdy hammock sits on the deck atop the gin-clear river below. You can look down 90 feet into the pools and rapids or up into the treetops that soar 60 feet overhead. We idly count migrating steelhead from the deck rail.

CHILL THRILLS

Fly Fishing
Our guests fly fish for steelhead and salmon and rainbow trout on a private water access. Strictly managed water means this is all catch and release, barbless fishing. Fishing is yearlong and holds challenging and beginner water. A sandbar below the cabin, within sight of the deck, is perfect to teach beginners the art of casting.
The Volcano
Mount St Helens
We are honored to be a favorite ‘residence’ for visitors for the Mt St Helens Institute. Hiking and exploring the volcano is a rare opportunity, and we will assist you with your volcano plans. Check all the options available with the institute and read their most recent newsletter.
Kayaking - Tubing - Rafting
Kayakers will love the rapids, narrows, and pools, with convenient access points along the river. Float or paddle—it’s all welcome! Call us with questions, and enjoy your stay at Welch Cabin, your five-star License to Chill!
Hiking - Ecotouring - Geocaching
Welch Cabin is nestled on 19 private acres, surrounded by miles of mountainous Weyerhaeuser forest. Private roads and trails wind through the forest, leading to creeks and rivers. Enjoy easy hikes and frequent wildlife sightings, including Roosevelt elk herds, blacktail deer, bald eagles, herons, and more!
